That menu is pretty much overloaded already. I could live with having Acquire as a separate sub menu under File because: * We have had it once, so it is not an alien thing to do. (We should not use another term, like 'Import', as someone suggested.) * Things under Acquire would be conceptually different from things under Create, namely images are (potentially, in the case of 'From Clipboard') created from an external source * We can remove File->Create altogether in GIMP 3.0. IMO none of the things there fits our product vision. The ones that do should be under Filter and not create a new image * We can also remove File->Send by Email in GIMP 3.0, we shouldn't deal with mails at all, decreasing number of toplevel items in File even more * We have to face that people regularly don't even find 'From screenshot' in the Create menu, and I think resurrecting Acquire would solve this problem Btw, I couldn't find any old discussion about this on gimp-developer, was it discussed there or at LGM or something? / Martin -- My GIMP Blog: http://www.chromecode.com/ "Automatic tab style and removed tab title bar" _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
